Learn to groom horses properly. Brush horses properly. Check all your gear thoroughly. Catch and halter your horse. Saddle your horse. Bridle your horse.

Wear gloves so oils from your hands do not transfer to the food. Cut using a sharp knife or mandoline. This is called a citrus bath. It is used with some fruits and vegetables to lock in enzymes and avoid browning of the produce's flesh. Bananas and apples should be soaked for 5 minutes in a citrus bath, shaken off, and then placed on the dehydrator's trays. Strawberries and cherries do not need to be pretreated.  Use an apple peeler to peel apples before hydrating, if you plan on dehydrating a lot of apples. They will allow you to slice them easily and cut the amount of time it will take you to dry your batch. Pit cherries and cut in half before dehydrating. They can take between 12 and 20 hours. Dry cranberries by freezing them, boiling them and then laying them out on the dehydrator. Plug in the dehydrator, cover and set the temperature. Fruit is usually dried at temperatures between 54 and 63 degrees Celsius (130 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit).  Drying times vary between dehydrators. The more liquid content the fruit have, the longer they will take. Oranges, tomatoes, lemons and bananas usually take 10 hours or longer. These are great to dehydrate overnight. Dry fruits with equal time. They will not leech flavors from each other. Place them in a cool, dark pantry to ensure they cannot be spoiled by sunlight or heat. Spread the mixture on plastic wrap at 43 to 48 degrees Celsius (110 to 118 degrees Fahrenheit) for 4 hours. When the leather is dry on the bottom side, peel it off the plastic wrap and put it with the opposite side down on the fan of the dehydrator. Dry for 1 to 2 more hours, until it is at your desired consistency.

TL;DR in English: Clean all areas carefully, wash all counters with antibacterial spray and rinse. Clean and dry fruit. Mix lemon, lime or pineapple juice with water, in a ratio of 1 to 4. Place evenly on the drying fans/racks, so they do not overlap. Store your dehydrated fruits and vegetables in jars or airtight plastic bags, since oxygen makes them spoil more quickly. Make fruit leather by mixing fruits and vegetables with a little water in a blender.

Check with local animal shelters and rescue centers to see if they need help with the organization of a fundraiser. If you cannot be there in person, offer your help by sharing information with friends and family about the event. Animal shelters and rescues provide services for many pets, some of which have faced abusive pasts. Volunteering will go a long way toward helping these institutions sustain their work. There are also organizations dedicated to rehabilitating abused farm animals that welcome the help of volunteers.  Get in touch with a shelter or sanctuary to see where they need help and how you might be most impactful. If you are unable to donate your time, spread the word to others or make a monetary donation. Pets at animal shelters were often abandoned or unwanted, and have potentially faced abuse. Adopting one of these pets will help give them a loving family and become a great addition to the family. Many shelters often have euthanasia policies due to receiving abandoned and unwanted pets at a high volume. Not only is adopting a pet giving it a happy and loving home, but it is also saving a life. If you are unable or not yet ready to adopt a pet, consider fostering animals. Many shelters and rescues are in need of foster parents willing to provide a temporary home to unwanted or abandoned animals. Being a foster parent to an animal provides the animal with more time to find a permanent home.  Every adoption agency or animal shelter has different requirements for potential fosters. Get in touch with a local adoption agency or shelter to discuss the application process and requirements for being a foster parent. Most agencies and shelters will have a foster care coordinator work with you throughout the process to help you determine which type of pet (puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, etc.) might be best for you. Most adoption agencies and animal shelters will have extensive histories available about the pet you are considering adopting or fostering. Ask the shelter or agency questions about the...

TL;DR in English: Participate in or start a fundraiser. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or find a nearby animal sanctuary. Adopt a shelter pet. Foster abandoned animals. Prepare yourself for the special needs abused pets might have.

This is important both in "bonding" with a horse, if you are fortunate enough to ride the same one regularly, and also gives you a chance to look the horse over for problems or injuries before and after a ride. Feed and water the horse if you have opportunity, once again cementing a bond with the animal, earning its trust, and learning to trust it, as well.  Many people are surprised, when they find themselves "up close, and personal," with a horse; with how large and powerful they truly are. Use the curry comb, dandy (hard) brush, and body (soft) brush, in that order. The curry comb should be used on the neck, body, and about halfway down the horse's legs, and likewise for the hard brush. The body brush is the only brush that should be used all the way down to the horse's hooves.  Do not brush the horse's face; use a towel or a grooming glove on this area. Pick up the horse's hooves and use a hoof pick to clean out dirt and mud if they appear to be dirty. Pick them up from the side, never stand directly behind or in front of a horse's legs, for safety reasons. Bring your tack out of the tack room, check it over to make sure it is clean and in good shape, with no holes or tears in the leather. Set it down, preferably on a rail, saddle rack, or stand. Ensure that it is out of the way of other riders. Catch or call your horse, and put on the halter. This is the leather or nylon harness that goes over the horse's head, and you will want to strap it tightly enough so it doesn't slip, but not tight enough to be uncomfortable for the horse. Ensure that it is completely on the horse's head; many an escaped horse could have been avoided had they simply ensured that the halter was on completely.  Lead the horse into the barn and attach the cross ties to the metal ring on the halter near the horses mouth. If there are two rings, the cross ties should be clipped to the metal loops on the sides, closest to the horse's mouth. Standing on the horse's left side, slide the saddle blanket over the horse's back, with the front...

This may sound obvious, but if you really want to get those ollies higher, then you have to keep practicing. But you can't just practice any old technique, or you'll just be repeating the same mistakes again. If you do master the footwork, jumping higher, sucking your feet and board up, and all of the other techniques we've discussed, then continuing to practice definitely will make perfect. Though some people like to practice their ollies first without any speed, you can try rolling to gather a bit more momentum to help you jump higher in the air. It's hard to jump high if you're generating all of the height from your own body without any speed to help you along. So, once you've got the ollie down flat, you can try moving, or even going a bit faster, to help yourself get the momentum you need to jump higher. A lot of people do start their ollies with some speed already, so if this is you, you can just try to go a bit faster as you practice more and more, especially if you're going over objects. Start small, working on doing an ollie over a garden hose, and then work your way up to doing an ollie over a shoebox, or another object that can be easily toppled without hurting you. Once you master this, you can try two shoeboxes or another higher object. Just making visual contact with an object before you jump over it can motivate you to jump higher than if you have nothing to clear. Having this goal set out for yourself can definitely help you get those ollies higher. If you have an old board that isn't in the greatest condition, then you won't be maximizing your ollie potential. A fresh board with some fresh grip tape can help you keep your feet planted on the board, and can also help you suck the board up with you when you jump up, so if you really want to ollie higher, you may consider getting a fresh board.

TL;DR in English: Keep practicing. Pick up more speed. Practice jumping over objects. Get a fresh board.

Do not pull the kitten out of the cat carrier right away; leave it in there with the door open and allow it to exit the carrier at its own pace. Make sure it sees its food and water bowl. This may motivate the kitten to leave its carrier and explore. When the kitten does come out, gently pick it up and place it in the litter box to give it an opportunity to go to the bathroom. If the kitten doesn’t go, at least it will know there is a litter box for it use. If you have other pets in the house, keep the kitten in its own room (along with litter box, bed, food and water) for a week before introducing him to the other pets. If you have small children, instruct them to be very gentle when they pick up, hold, or play with the kitten to avoid injury to either the kitten or kid. Just let it take its time and it will get used to you and the house soon. Keep the kitten in one room (unless you are there to watch carefully) and other pets away from the kitten for a week before introducing the cat to the other pets. After a while, try playing with the kitten but don't force it to do anything it doesn't want to do. It should come out soon enough, and don't panic if it comes out of the pet carrier and hides under something. Let the kitten explore the room. It will have a lot of sniffing to do. Kittens are pretty smart and will take to using the litter box in no time. That is, as long as they can get into it, it’s cleaned daily (scooped), and it’s in a quiet spot.

TL;DR in English: Place the kitten near its bed. Keep the kitten away from other pets at first. Give your kitten time to adjust to its new home. Place the kitten in the litter box every couple of hours until it uses it.

If you have your baby on formula, simply switching to a different one can help ease colic symptoms. You can switch off a cow's milk formula, to a non-cow's milk formula, for instance, though it can be more expensive. Look for words like "hypoallergenic." If you're breastfeeding your baby, you can try changing up your diet. Sometimes, the things you eat can affect the baby. Try cutting common allergens from your diet, such as wheat, soy, fish, eggs, peanuts, and cow's milk. Sometimes, swaddling can help colic symptoms. Simply wrap your baby up completely in a blanket (with their head out, of course), then hold your baby close to you. Gently rocking can also help. Some people also find that carrying your baby more can help. You can also create better conditions to help your baby sleep. For instance, you can have a white noise machine in your baby's room, or even use things like the dryer or vacuum cleaner nearby when they're out of their crib. You can also take your baby for a car ride, as many babies find that soothing. While smoking doesn't cause colic, it can make your baby cry more. Make sure you're not smoking around your baby, and if you're breastfeeding, it's best to cut out smoking altogether. In addition, make sure no one else smokes around your baby. In the moment, make sure your baby isn't hungry, tired, or wet every time they cry. It's also important to have your baby child checked out by a doctor if they suddenly start crying more. They could have an underlying condition that's causing the crying.

TL;DR in English: Pick a different formula. Change your diet. Wrap your baby up. Help your baby sleep. Skip smoking. Check to make sure nothing else is wrong.

Figuring out the average of something is simple. It means that you take every single number in the list. Write them down or put them in a spreadsheet. That means that you add them all up for a grand total. Let’s say you have 5 ages: 31, 30, 26, 21, 10. The total or sum of those numbers is 118. That’s the average.  Using the above example, you would divide 118 (the sum of all the ages) by 5 (the number of ages in the list). The average age is 23.6. This works for much larger number sets too. For example, let’s say you wanted to find the average age of people in a club. Let’s say there were 100 members in the club. You would need the exact ages of each club member. You would add those ages together to get a sum. Then, you would divide that sum by the number 100. That’s the average age of members in the club. It’s no different when calculating average for other types of numbers that aren't ages. Average works the same way.  For example, let’s say you want to know the average population of the 10 largest cities in America. You would list the population for each city. Then, you would add all of those numbers up. You would divide the sum by 10, and that’s the average. There are times you might want to use a weighted average. For example, when averaging a student’s grades, you might want to weigh some assignments as being worth more than others.To do this, multiply each grade by the weight. Then add those numbers together, and divide by the total number of grades

TL;DR in English: Organize all of the ages in a list. Find the sum of all of the ages on the list. Now, divide the sum you got by the number of ages in the list. Find the average of other sets of numbers.

The preapproval process begins with a complete application form. The lender will gather information about you, your spouse or partner, if any, and your overall finances. Complete the form as fully and accurately as you can. Omitting any information will only slow the process. Some banks may use the same application for preapproval that they use to apply for the mortgage itself. This may save some steps later if you wind up applying for a mortgage with that bank. The lender will require certain documents to support your application. Prior to about 1990, you merely had to give your employer’s name and state your annual income, but now it is common to require the following documentation:  one to two months of pay stubs, showing annual payment as well two years of federal tax returns, including W-2 statements a quarterly statement of all assets, including savings accounts, checking accounts and any other investments Social Security number (to get your credit report) The lending officer at the bank may have other questions or need additional information from you. You should do your best to provide as much honest information as you can. While you are waiting, you can continue looking at houses, and tell owners or brokers that you have started the process for preapproval on a loan. If you find a property that you wish to buy, and you need the preapproval letter to be expedited, you should contact the bank right away and inform them of that. They want your business, so it will be in their interest to speed up the process if it helps you.  The preapproval process may take as long as two to four weeks. If you need to make an offer sooner, try requesting a pre-qualification letter. This is a similar letter that requires much less documentation, but also carries less weight.

Assess the damage. Plug the hole by filling it with rubber cement or seam sealer. Seal the valve. Replace the valve.

It doesn't matter whether you use normal sand or red sand. Both turn into ordinary glass. Craft a furnace out of eight cobblestone if you don't have one already. Place it on the ground, then right click to open the smelting window. Move the sand into the top square. Put coal, wood, or any other fuel into the bottom square of the furnace. As long as there's fuel in the furnace, it will turn each block of sand into a block of glass. Each block takes a few seconds to make, so be patient. The glass will appear in the results square in the smelting window. In the default Minecraft skin, glass looks like a light blue, mostly transparent cube. Glass is a full-sized block that is completely transparent to light. You cannot recover the glass block by breaking it, so don't put it down until you're sure you want it there. A tool with the Silk Touch enchantment can recover the glass block intact.

Meningitis is an infection (usually viral) that causes an inflammation of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can affect any breed of dog, but some dog breeds inherit breed-specific forms of meningitis, and it is not known how or why this happens. Some breeds known to inherit this disease are beagles, Bernese mountain dogs, pugs, and Maltese terriers. Common symptoms of canine meningitis include:  Fever  Neck pain  "Stiff" neck and rigidity (difficulty moving the head and neck)  Weakness in the legs Loss of balance/equilibrium Seizures Meningitis cannot be treated without proper veterinary care. The most common course of action is to suppress the immune response, typically through high doses of steroid treatment. Prednisone is commonly prescribed for dogs with meningitis, though your vet may prescribe other medications, either with or without prednisone. Canine meningitis is rarely curable, and while treatment options can reduce the symptoms and improve a dog's quality of life in the short term, relapses are quite common, and may be fatal. Alert your veterinarian of any signs of relapse in your pet.

TL;DR in English: Identify the symptoms of meningitis. Administer medication. Watch for signs of relapse.

Is there a hole or a crack? A hole will be easier to fix than a crack. If there’s a crack you might need to order a new valve from the air mattress manufacturer. This is a long-shot method and may not always work. Often, a severely damaged valve means that you’ll need to buy a new mattress.  If the valve is leaking air because the valve plug isn’t properly sealing against the valve stem, you can line the stem with a thin piece of plastic to help it seal properly. If the valve is damaged beyond repair, order a new one from the manufacturer and replace it according to the instructions.

Use the leg that’s furthest from your opponent if you want the most power or the leg closest if you want the most speed. Try to hit their groin with the top of your foot or your shin so it hurts them the most. Most times, your opponent will drop to the ground or hunch over if they aren’t expecting the blow.  It may take multiple hits to the groin to incapacitate your opponent. This works most effectively on male attackers, but it can still cause a lot of pain for females as well. If you’re within arm’s reach of your opponent, reach around the side or back of their head. Grab their ear or a fistful of their hair and pull in the direction you want your opponent to move. If your opponent tries to fight back, yank on their ear or hair harder so to make them feel more pain.  You can try pulling ears or hair with both of your hands, but this could leave you vulnerable to an attack. Try to make your opponent hunch over so you can knee them in the face or drive your elbow into their back. If you aren’t able to move your arms or legs to fight back, open your mouth and bite down on the part of the body that’s closest to you. Try to find an area that has open skin or thin clothing so it hurts your opponent the most. Clench your jaw tightly and don’t let go until your opponent lets you go. If you break skin and get your opponent’s blood in your mouth, visit a doctor as soon as possible to make sure you don’t get any infections or diseases. If your opponent reaches for you, do your best to wrap your hands around their palm or wrist. Squeeze as hard as you can and bend the joint backward so it hurts your opponent. Most times, your opponent will move in the direction you’re bending the joint so it doesn’t break any bones. Try to force your opponent away from you and toward the ground with your grab.  You can also try locking their elbows or knees to control them more. If you’re in a life-or-death situation, bend the joint back as far as you can to break it. That way, you can have an opportunity to escape while your opponent...

TL;DR in English: Kick your opponent in the groin to cause them a lot of pain. Pull on your opponent’s ears or hair to control their movements. Bite your opponent if they’re holding onto you. Grab and bend your opponent’s wrist or fingers to restrict them from moving. Jab your opponent’s throat with your fingers to stun them momentarily. Strike the back of your opponent’s neck with your elbow if they’re hunched over. Headbutt your opponent to disorient them. Push your thumbs into your opponent’s eyes if you’re in close range. Use a weapon if you have one available.

The most important thing for decreasing the occurrence of death after childbirth is the ability to catch the signs of bleeding early in its course and pinpoint its cause. Quickly identifying the cause of the bleeding allows for faster intervention.  A nursing care plan is a very useful tool in doing just that. There are five steps in the nursing care plan. These steps are assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention and evaluation. In order to make a nursing care plan on postpartum hemorrhage, it is important to know what to look for and what to do in each of these steps. Before carrying out an assessment, it is important to take note of the mother’s history. There are several predisposing factors that make the mother more prone to postpartum hemorrhage, as all women who had just given birth are prone to excessive blood loss. If one or more of the following are present in the mother, assessment should be done at least every 15 minutes during and following delivery until the mother is not showing any signs of bleeding.  These predisposing factors include a distended uterus caused by carrying a large infant inside or having excessive fluid in the placenta (the sac surrounding the infant), having given birth to more than five children, rapid labor, prolonged labor, utilization of assistive devices, a caesarean birth, removal of the placenta manually and an inverted uterus. Predisposing factors to excessive bleeding also include mothers who have suffered from conditions such as placenta previa, placenta accreta, utilizing drugs such as oxytocin, prostaglandins, tocolytics, or magnesium sulfate, underwent general anesthesia, if the mother has clotting disorders, have suffered from hemorrhage in the previous childbirth, has uterine fibroids, or has suffered from bacterial infection of the fetal membranes (chorioamnionitis). In assessing the mother, there are certain physical aspects that need to be checked regularly to determine if there is an ongoing postpartum hemorrhage and also to help determine the cause....

TL;DR in English: Understand what a nurse care plan is. Pay close attention to mothers who are predisposed to developing a postpartum hemorrhage. Evaluate the mother’s condition frequently. Monitor the fundus. Look at the bladder. Assess the lochia. Check the mother’s vital signs. Understand that trauma could lead to excessive bleeding. Notify other healthcare providers. Massage the mother’s uterus and keep track of blood loss. Regulate the mother’s blood levels. Put the mother in the Trendelenburg position. Give the mother medications. Monitor the mother’s breathing. Evaluate the mother when the mother is in a safer state. Check on any open wounds the mother may have sustained. Check for side effects of the medications.

An agent can help you connect with potential buyers and make it easier to get your pitch package in front of the right people. Look for agents in your area that specialize in reality television and see if you can get someone to represent you. Look for a producer who’s already produced reality shows similar to the one you’re pitching. If you’re new to the industry and you don’t know any producers, pay to attend a conference like the National Association of Television Program Executives that takes place annually in Miami, Florida, or the annual RealScreen Summit in Washington, DC.  Attending a conference with high-level TV executives can cost over $1,000 (€843), so you'll want to make sure you're prepared if you decide to take this route. Make sure your pitch package is all put together and consider having multiple ideas to pitch.  At the conference, attend sessions hosted by network executives you're interested in networking with, and introduce yourself after the session. Have cards with your contact information on them that you can hand out to prospective buyers. If you have an agent, have them arrange a meeting between you and some network executives. Choose a network you could see your show airing on; if your show is about CEOs renovating their own penthouses, look for a network that airs home-improvement-style shows. Come to the meeting prepared with your pitch package (short tape, write up, headshots) and convince the network execs that your show would be a hit. If your show centers around the bold personality of a particular character, consider bringing them along to the meeting to help woo the network. If one network isn’t interested in your idea, that doesn’t mean other networks won’t be. Keep attending meetings and pitching your show. Take the feedback you get from network executives and TV producers and use it to make your pitch package better. If you’re not having any luck, consider changing the premise or structure of your show so it’s more marketable.

Some bosses think they have to know everything, but it’s okay to ask for help. Your employees will recognize it as a sign of strength because your aren’t afraid of admitting that you don’t know everything. Say, “I’m mulling over how to approach this merger decision, and I’m open to your suggestions. If you’d like to talk about your ideas or concerns, drop by my office between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. today.” Don’t be defensive when your employees criticize your decisions or performance. Instead, consider their comments and decide if they make sense. If they do, consider it an opportunity for growth.  Don’t punish people for giving you negative feedback. No one is perfect, not even you. It’s normal to make mistakes. Give credit to your employees for a job well done, and consider the organization’s accomplishments to be a group effort. Bad bosses often hog the credit, but good bosses spread it around.  Acknowledge the contributions of others. Congratulate your employees for a job well done. When people give you praise, mention the employees who helped you make the accomplishment happen. Despite your best efforts, everyone makes mistakes. If you’ve made a bad decision or snapped at an employee, admit your mistake and apologize. Say, “I’m sorry that I shut you down this morning when you came in to make a suggestion about the project scope. I truly value your input.” You may have some employees that are better performers than others. Perhaps some even remind you of yourself. Keep these opinions to yourself. Showing favoritism is damaging to the workforce. It can discourage workers who don’t feel favored, and it can cause stagnation in favored employees.  If you find yourself focusing your attention on a fraction of your employees, make a point to shift your attention to include others. If you go out to lunch or happy hour with employees, make sure everyone is invited.

Caregivers are often under constant stress and pressure, and it is common for them to experience depression and anxiety because of it. Experiencing grief over your changed spouse may also cause you to feel down. Talk to a doctor about seeking therapy or taking prescription medication to help treat your issue. Doing so will enable you to be in better mental health to take care of your spouse. Caregivers commonly lose touch with activities they enjoy, as they often feel they don’t have time for anything else except looking after their spouses. In addition to adding to the level of resentment you may feel, depriving yourself of activities you enjoy can also negatively affect the way you take care of your spouse. Make time to engage in your hobbies, even if it means asking someone to relieve you for a few hours a week so that you are able to participate. Taking care of your mental, emotional and spiritual needs is just as important as caring for your spouse. Fortunately, many hobbies can be enjoyed without even leaving the home, such as reading, knitting, doing yoga, painting, meditating, and spending time with growing grandchildren. Exercising can help your emotional and physical well-being, which is beneficial to both you and your spouse. Spending just a few minutes a day walking, running, participating in tai chi or yoga, or riding a bike can make you feel better emotionally and physically. You may be able to exercise with your spouse during the early stages of dementia, which gives you a chance to connect with your spouse and support their physical and mental well-being. Some spouses feel guilty because they cannot manage everything. Keeping yourself healthy is the best thing you can do to help your spouse.

TL;DR in English: Seek professional help, if needed. Participate in hobbies. Exercise to relieve stress. Self-care in general is one of the most important things a spouse needs to do when they become a caregiver.

Give them a legend, a fairy tale, where the problem that needs to be overcome (homelessness, hunger, poverty, etc.) is a dragon to be slain. Create an epic feel around the task that needs to be completed. Next, make them the hero of the story you've created. Tell them that they are the only ones who can overcome this terrible obstacle. Make them feel not just necessary but vital. And, here's the key, make them feel like they're the only one/s who can help. People frequently won't help if they think that someone else will step in to be the hero. Use their emotions to show them why their help is so necessary. Put them in the emotional place of the person that needs help. Be as descriptive as possible: the easier it is for them to imagine, the more likely they are to want to help. Let them feel like helping results in good things for them as well. Outline for them not only the good feeling they'll have but also the physical rewards they'll see (good resume content, business incentives, marketing opportunities, etc.).

TL;DR in English: Create a story. Appeal to their ego. Feed their empathy. Show the rewards.

Health experts recommend that teens and school-aged kids should spend no more than 2 hours a day in front of a screen, and it’s just as important for adults to limit their time being sedentary. If you’re struggling with too much gaming, try setting specific limits for yourself on how long you play each day.    For example, you might limit yourself to no more than half an hour of play each day. Help yourself keep track of your playing time by setting a timer on your phone or another device. Don’t give up or get too upset with yourself if you slip up and end up playing longer than you meant to from time to time—it’s totally normal to have setbacks! Try to learn from what happened and think of a way to avoid it next time, like having a buddy send you a text to remind you it’s time to stop playing. If you have a game console, computer, or other gaming device in your room, you may be tempted to stay up all night playing instead of getting the sleep you need. Make your room a screen-free zone so you don’t get caught up in late-night gaming.  If you have games on your phone, switch it off at night or put it somewhere you can’t easily reach it at bedtime. Playing games right before bed can reduce the quality of your sleep. In addition to keeping your room screen-free, avoid playing games during the last couple of hours before you go to bed. When you’re trying to break a video game addiction, it’s not uncommon to have trouble sleeping. If you find yourself struggling to sleep, try not to worry. Do something calming and comforting to help you unwind, like meditating for a few minutes or taking a warm shower. If you play games on your phone or on your computer, you can install apps or browser extensions that limit your play time. Some apps can limit your access to specific games, while others will lock you out of your device altogether during a set time.  PC programs like Game Boss can set time limits on games or block your access to gaming websites. If you play games in a web browser, try an extension like StayFocusd...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself a strict time limit for daily play. Keep gaming devices out of your bedroom. Try apps or extensions to block your access to games. Ask friends and family to help stay on top of your gaming limits.

Warm water helps relax your muscles and increase circulation.  It therefore offers some of the same benefits as getting a massage or exercising can, but is low-cost and won’t risk ramping you up for a couple hours like intense exercise can. Light some candles, play relaxing music and soak in the tub for at least ten minutes.  The bath is a great time to do some meditation or practice mindfulness. Make sure not to do anything that might make you fall asleep.  Don’t try to meditate in the bath unless you are experienced and know you will stay alert. Get out of those stuffy work or school clothes and put on something comfortable and soft, like cotton or linen. You will feel instantly more relaxed. It may sound counterproductive to relaxation, but exercising helps you clear your head by burning off all the mental energy saved up during a long day at work or school.  Regular exercise also helps your body feel more relaxed and stress-free overall, making the next long day easier to get through. Try going for a walk outside, doing yoga or stretching for at least 20 minutes.  Walk around the block or a nearby park if it is still light outside.  (Don’t walk by yourself at night.) Better yet, take your dog with you and you can both get some much needed exercise.  Focus on enjoying the fresh air and sounds of nature instead of your speed or how far you go.   Do some yoga poses.  Child’s pose, in particular, is great for relaxing the body after a long day. Stretch it out. If your body feels really tired, just spend 20 minutes doing some deep stretches to loosen your muscles from running around all day. This exercise will help you relax both your body and your mind.  If you do it regularly, you will start noticing when different muscles tense up during the day so you can relax them immediately and prevent compounding stress in your muscles.  Start by laying down in a quiet room. Pick one muscle, like your left hand, and tense it up as much as possible for 5 seconds.  You should be making a tight fist that feels...

Make sure that the wool is not dry, and that the wool is not dry. If you are not using a soap or detergent, you may need to wash it thoroughly. If you are using a soap or detergent, you may need to wash it thoroughly. If you are using a soap or detergent,

Shake off any superficial dirt or vegetation. Fill a basin with warm water. Pour in several squirts of dishwashing detergent. Submerge your wool. Drain your sink. Rinse the wool of all soap. Place the wet wool on top of a thick towel. Lay the wool flat to dry.

This is key, otherwise the tires might lock up and not spin properly. Put your key in the ignition, and turn to start your car. While your car is still in park, turn off traction control. There is generally a button on the left or right side of the steering wheel allowing you to disable traction control. See your owner's manual if there is no such button.  Do not turn off traction control before you start your car. The default setting for traction control is "ON." This means that traction control will turn on after the ignition starts. A light is likely to appear on your dashboard above your steering wheel calling your attention to the fact that traction control has been turned off. Do not worry about this light, as it will disappear once you finish spinning donuts, and turn traction control back on. The surface of the space should ideally be blacktop rather than grass or dirt. It is best to spin donuts on a barren parking lot, or back road. Make sure that you have enough space, not just for your car, but for when it begins to spin in circles. You should also make sure that the surrounding space does not have any houses, trees, or other obstructions. Though you can also do donuts in snowy areas, avoid icy or slick areas as these can present a safety hazard. You do not want to spin donuts with tires that are already worn down, and/or need replacing. To check the tread, perform the "penny test." Take a penny and place it in one of the tire's tread ribs. Make sure Lincoln's head is facing down. If the tread rib covers the entire head, you have enough tread on your tire to safely spin donuts. If the head is more than halfway showing, you should think about replacing your tires. You can either do this yourself by purchasing tires online or visiting your nearest car care professional. Make sure that your oil has been recently changed. You should also change your power steering and brake fluids. These are critically important, as spinning donuts puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your car. You need to make sure...

TL;DR in English: Turn off the traction control on your car before you do any donuts. Find a clear open space to spin donuts. Check the tread on your tires. Maintain your car's fluids. Bring some friends along with you.

You will need a wooden headboard and footboard. If they are attached, detach them. This project works best if there is either a flat skirt  on the footboard or two-part skirt with an even edge at the top. Once you have the frame and the boards are detached, sand the wood to remove old paint or varnish, if you want to. Measure a vertical center line on the footboard and mark it with a pencil or other marking tool. Use a jigsaw or circular saw to cut the footboard along the center line. The two pieces will become the sides of the bench, while the headboard will be the back of the bench. Along the edges you just cut, drill evenly space holes for dowels. Find dowels that are an appropriate size and then use the drill bit for that size to drill the holes. Measure the height from the floor to the holes that you cut, as well as the distance between the holes, and then make identical holes in the same location on the front of the headboard posts.  The number of holes you drill and where you drill them will depend on the shape and style of the bed. If your bed is of a non-standard shape, you may have to alter how you attach the footboards to the headboard. It may be necessary to attach them at the sides, rather than at the front of the posts. Insert the dowels, applying wood glue in both holes, and attach the footboards to the headboard. It should now be starting to look like a bench! Lay the bench on its back and attach 1x6s (cut to the appropriate length) to the footboards using L brackets and wood screws. Attach these at whatever height works for you and that the footboards allow. Use however many boards are needed to create a wide enough seat. Add a 1x3 board to the bottom of the front seat-board to make a skirt, if you want to. Caulk all the joints and gaps so that the connections are more sturdy. Upright the bench when necessary during this process. Paint the bench (with outdoor paint if you intend to put it outside), if you want to. You may also wish to add seat cushions or upholster the bench.

TL;DR in English: Buy and prepare an old bed frame. Measure and mark the center line on the footboard. Cut the footboard. Create the attachment points on the footboard. Attach the footboards to the headboard. Attach the seat. Caulk all joints. Add finishing touches.

You will want to card only clean wool, as any dirt particles could hamper your ability to use the wool carders. Freshly shorn sheep’s wool will also have dirt deep in the fibers, so you will need to be sure you wash it thoroughly. Grab a bucket or clean out a sink to use as a washing basin. The basin should be large enough to comfortably contain the amount of wool you would like to clean. The temperature should be at approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 Celsius). Water that is too hot will strip the wool of natural oils. To protect the woolen fibers, avoid soap or detergents that contain bleach or similar whitening additives. Stir the detergent into the water until the water is soapy.  For best results, use a soap or detergent with a pH between 7 and 9. Most mild dish soaps are neutral (a pH of 7) and should be safe to use for cleaning wool.  Mild dish soaps can be purchased at any drug or grocery store near you. Let the wool soak for about ten minutes in the basin of warm water. This should loosen the dirt particles, making it easier for the dirt to separate from the wool or for you to remove it with some light scrubbing. Rub the wool with your hands to wash it thoroughly. Repeat the process as necessary. You may need to soak the wool 2-3 times before it is completely clean. Remove the wool and pull the stopper to allow your sink to drain or dump the water out of your bucket. Rinse out any remaining dirt in your sink or bucket. You will know it has been thoroughly rinsed when you notice that the bubbles from the detergent are gone. You may need to rinse the wool three or more times. This will absorb the excess water in the wool, allowing it to dry a bit faster. Wrap it in the towel and gently squeeze to pull out as much excess moisture as possible. You can do this by clearing a space on a desk or countertop and laying the wool on another clean and dry towel. You could also lay it flat on a drying rack. Allow the wool to dry overnight. Do not attempt to card the wool until it is completely dry.

All foil balloons have a small, 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) filling tab designed to easily blow up your balloons. Typically, this is on the outside of the balloon toward the bottom, and the tab is secured by 2-3 layers of plastic. For instance, you can find this approximately where you attach a string to a standard balloon.

TL;DR in English: Locate the filling tab on the outside of your balloon.

In order to increase the amount of water released with each flush, you’ll need to have access to the tank. Shut off the water supply, remove the lid and hit the plunger to drain the tank. Once this is done, you’ll be able to work unobstructed. Do not attempt to change your toilet’s fill level while there’s still water in the tank. On most standard toilets, this will appear as a large upright tube positioned on one side of the tank. This is the part that controls how much water enters the tank when the toilet refills. Your toilet’s fill valve will most likely have either a ballcock or floating cylinder construction—both can be tweaked manually in just a couple of minutes.  Ballcock valves make use of a floating rubber ball to gauge the water level, while cylinder valves can be set to designate the cutoff point.  If there’s any obvious damage to your toilet’s fill valve, the wisest option is to simply purchase a new one. If your toilet uses a ballcock design with a floating rubber ball attached to a separate arm, you can manually adjust the water level by twisting the stem at the top of the arm counterclockwise. If it uses a newer sliding cylinder construction, simply pinch the clips on the edge of the cylinder and raise or lower it to the desired height.  You may need to use a screwdriver, coin or some other slender object to change the position of a ballcock stem. For newer toilets with a sliding cylinder, the adjustment for water level is a small screw located on the top of this cylinder. Take note of the normal water level, as indicated by hard water discoloration. This will give you an idea how much water is typically needed to achieve a satisfactory flush. On some newer toilets, the manufacturers specify the optimal fill level with a line etched on the interior wall of the tank. Turn the water supply to the toilet back on and wait for the tank to refill. Lift the toilet seat and flush. If you’re satisfied with the flush, replace the toilet tank lid and continue using your toilet as usual. If not, continue...

TL;DR in English: Empty the toilet tank. Locate the fill valve. Reset the height of the fill valve. Test the toilet’s flush.

When someone is in love, they make eye contact more with that person than they do with anyone else. If you look into his eyes a lot, especially when he’s talking, it will bring up feelings he had the last time he was in love. Those positive emotions will then be associated with you.  Don’t stare at him for too long or you’ll scare him. Every so often, glance away, then drag your eyes back to him to break it up. You can also add a flirty eyelash flutter. Blinking a lot is a natural reaction when you like someone, so it subtly shows that you’re into him. If you copy his body language, tone, and behaviors, he’ll feel like the 2 of you are on the same wavelength. Smile when he does, match his soft-spoken voice by quieting your own, or angle your body just like his is.  For example, if he has his chin propped on his hands on the table, do the same. This applies when you’re walking together, too. Speed up or slow down to match his pace. Don’t imitate every single thing he does. Make your behaviors seem natural instead of creepy by mimicking every couple of movements instead. Studies have shown that touching someone increases their attraction to you. Find any excuse to touch him, whether it’s lightly laying a hand on his forearm when he tells a funny joke or giving him a brief hug when you say goodbye.   Make your touches seem accidental if you don’t want to be too obvious. For instance, graze his arm when you get up to get a drink or brush his foot under the table. Keep your touching above the waist so you don’t cross any boundaries or make him feel uncomfortable. Arms, shoulders, and face are safe spots if you aren’t sure.

TL;DR in English:

Many different collections can be started with little to no cost. One way to do this is to go outside. Look for rocks, plant leaves and flowers, or insects you can preserve and keep on display. Take a walk down to a beach and look for sea glass. Another way is to begin to invest in an object you wish to collect, such as saving bottle-caps you’ve found on the ground or gotten from your beverages.  Others can help you begin or grow a collection by bringing you items such as coins or snow globes back home as gifts. Also consider buying a book on collectibles or joining a club of fellow enthusiasts. Many arts and crafts can be started with few materials. Writing, sculpting, drawing, and more will likely be available to you simply by using what you already have on hand. In addition, you can go to various stores, including dollar and thrift stores, to supplement your projects with cheap material such as scrap wood, fabrics, or metal.  Search for craft projects on sites such as craftster.org or Pinterest and join art groups on Reddit. Look around your house before you begin. Often unused material can give you an idea for a project or help you complete one at low cost. You can use old electronics, wood, fabric, or paint to make miniatures, for example. Retail stores have some cheap supplies, such as coloring books and paint-by-numbers kits. Hobby stores will also have kits that can help you start doing activities such as building model planes or whittling. Think of a subject you’d like to learn. Search out the institutions in your area. Your local community center or library may offer free classes on anything from square dancing to programming, but you can also search local colleges and businesses for inexpensive classes.  Sites such as khanacademy.org and coursera.org offer free classes on a variety of subjects. Youtube, podcasts, and phone applications are a great way to start. For example, try the free Duolingo application to learn a language. Youtube contains a vast quantity of music you can listen to for free....

TL;DR in English: Begin a collection. Start an art or craft project. Study something new. Listen to music. Play music. Venture into nature. Get active. Learn a game.

Suede has a soft grain that is best cleaned with a special brush, which you can purchase with a suede cleaning kit. If your shoes have a care label, use whatever the manufacturer suggests. Suede is also very sensitive to water, so basic dirt and scuffs are best dealt with when the shoes are dry.

TL;DR in English: Get a suede brush and make sure your shoes are dry.

The sick person may have a high temperature and can feel chilled in a room that is too cold, or uncomfortable in a room that is too hot. As well, loud noises and a stuffy room can make the sick person feel worse, rather than better. Ensure the person is set up on a bed, couch, or comfy chair that is in a comfortable spot in the house and that a window is open to allow fresh air into the room.  You can also make the person feel more comfortable by making sure they have access to warm blankets and lots of pillows, especially if they have a cold or a flu. A sick person may need to get up to 10 hours of rest.  Encourage the person to rest when they are tired so that they can recuperate better. Most ill people suffer from dehydration due to symptoms like diarrhea or fever. Make sure they stay well hydrated by giving them glasses of water and cups of warm, comforting herbal tea. Encourage them to take small sips of the liquid and to try to finish at least three to four cups of water or tea. Though providing beverages is a simple gesture, it can be reassuring to the person, as they may not be able to get water or tea for themselves due to their illness. The average adult needs to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water or more every day and should urinate at least three to four times a day. Gauge the sick person's hydration level and note if they do not go to the bathroom often during the day. This may be a sign they are dehydrated. Most people will have a go-to comfort food they crave when they are ill, such as chicken noodle soup. Studies have shown that sick people crave chicken noodle soup because it contains a protein in the form of chicken, a hearty chicken broth full of vitamins, minerals, and some fat, noodles to keep you full, as well as vegetables like carrots, celery, and onion, which contain vitamins and antioxidants. In general, soups make good comfort foods for a sick person as they are warm, filling, and easy to digest. Avoid giving the person unhealthy foods high in trans fats and empty calories, as...

While you likely don’t need to worry, some moles can become cancerous. Typically, these moles will have an asymmetrical shape, an odd border, and an evolving shape. Additionally, they tend to be larger moles and may change colors. To be safe, see your doctor if your mole may be abnormal. Try not to worry because most moles are benign. Your doctor can check your mole to make sure you’re okay. Your doctor will do a physical examination of your mole. If they think it could be cancerous, they’ll take a small sample and do a biopsy to be sure. You may occasionally cut your mole while shaving or going about your life. If this happens, care for your wound by keeping it clean and applying an antibacterial ointment. If it doesn’t start healing in a couple of days, visit your doctor to get medical care.You don’t want your mole to get infected, so ask your doctor about treatment.

TL;DR in English: Visit your doctor if your mole grows, changes, or looks unusual. Get immediate medical care if a cut mole isn’t healing.

Pour your desired measurement of rice into your pressure cooker. Add water according to the type and quantity of rice you are using. One cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water.  Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Never fill the pressure cooker more than halfway with the rice and liquid. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Close and lock the lid on your pressure cooker by fastening the handle of the cover to the handle for the body of the pot, or however your model is intended to close according to the instruction manual. Place the cooker on a burner of your stove. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into an outlet and turn it on. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker.  If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time.  Lower the heat right away after your cooker reaches high pressure, otherwise your rice can become quickly overcooked. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released. For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of natural release, do a quick release on your pressure cooker to open the lid. Tilt the cooker away from you when opening the lid to avoid the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Take radon-reduction training courses. Seal all cracks and openings in the building. Keep the windows open on the lowest level, weather permitting. Install ceiling fans with positive ion generators. Avoid using exhaust fans, which increase radon levels. Cover exposed earth with polyethylene plastic. Remove radon from the water using granular activated carbon.

You can use any type of milk you prefer, but keep in mind that whole milk will steam the easiest and create the best foam. If you use skim milk, it may separate more. Or you can use soy, nut, or rice milks. These may steam a little differently, so pay attention to how you heat them. To make a simple mocha cappuccino, you could use chocolate milk. Pour cold milk into a clean, chilled pitcher. You should pour in more milk than you actually plan to drink. For example, if you want to make an 8-ounce (236 ml) cappuccino, you'll need to pour in 10 to 12 ounces (295 to 355 ml) of milk. This will allow the milk to expand and make it easier to pour. Using a chilled pitcher will make the milk steam longer which will create a smoother texture. If you don't have a steam wand attached to your espresso machine, you can warm the milk in the microwave and shake it to create some foam. Place nonfat or low-fat milk into a small mason jar, so that it's at least half full. Put the lid on the jar and shake it for 30 seconds to 1 minute, so the milk foams up a lot. Remove the lid and microwave the jar for 30 seconds. The foam will only last for a few minutes with this method.

TL;DR in English: Select your milk. Pour the milk into a chilled pitcher. Consider heating the milk in the microwave.

The very instant someone threatens or scares you, you should use whatever tools the chatroom or social media site has to block that person. By blocking the person, you'll limit their ability to scare you. In the end, they'll probably move on to bothering other people. Perhaps the easiest way you can protect yourself is to log out of the chatroom if someone makes you feel uncomfortable. Cyberbullies, predators, and trolls immediately lose power over you when you log out. By logging out, you'll empower and safeguard yourself. If someone in a chatroom suggests that they are going to hurt you or someone else, if they threaten violence, or do anything that leads you to be suspicious of them, you should report them immediately. You can report them to the chatroom's moderator, the service the chatroom is hosted by, or the police. If someone online makes you uncomfortable, scared, or threatens you, you should tell someone immediately. Whether you're a teenager or an adult, your friends and loved ones will be able to give you guidance and perspective when it comes to the person who made you uncomfortable.  Remember, telling is not snitching or tattling. Ask your parents for help if online activity makes you uncomfortable. Talk to friends about what is going on online. Cyberbullying is the act of someone trying to intimidate you, make you feel bad, or simply harassing you. If someone commits cyberbullying against you or someone you know, you should report it to an adult or an appropriate authority.

Without the right equipment and techniques, you could actually increase the levels of radon in your home! If you decide not to use a certified contractor to reduce radon, it’s essential that you contact your state radon office to find training courses in your area. Enroll in and attend these training classes to learn how to properly reduce radon levels.  For instance, you’ll learn how to properly test for radon. You may also be taught how air pressure affects ventilation and how radon moves through water. Cracks and openings in the building can allow radon to flow into your home or office. All entry points (like for utilities), cracks, drains, and openings can be filled with urethane foam. Wall and floor joints can be sealed with polyurethane membrane sealants. Supplies can be found at your local hardware store. Ventilation is key for reducing radon levels. Whenever possible, have several windows open on the lowest level of your home or office, which is closest to the soil and source of the radon. Even a small crack allows fresh air to flow in, lowering the concentration of radon in the air. You can opt to open windows on upper levels as well to allow air to flow throughout the entire space. Fans get the air in your home or office circulating, while a positive ion generator charges the particles of radon. The particles are then attracted to the walls, floor, and ceiling, preventing them from being absorbed into your lungs. Radon comes into your home or office because the air pressure is lower than it is outside, drawing radon in like a vacuum. Exhaust fans further decrease the air pressure, so using them actually increases the concentration of radon in the air. If you must use an exhaust fan, open several windows in the home or office as well. If you have exposed earth in your basement, storage area, crawlspace, or another area of your home, you can significantly reduce radon levels by covering the soil. Use high-density polyethylene plastic to completely cover the exposed earth. Seal the seams as well as the...

The adult flea only visits its host to feed, so for every flea you see on the pet, it is estimated that another 20 are living off the animal in her bedding, the carpet, and the sofa.  It is also important to be aware that the female flea lays her eggs on soft furnishings such as carpet and upholstery. These eggs are very hardy and, in the absence of a suitable host, can lie dormant for years. Once the eggs hatch, the flea larvae and pupae will develop in carpet or bedding, feeding off dirt in order to complete their life cycle and become adults. As a result, it is necessary to kill off any eggs or larvae hidden in the dog's bedding, or the carpeting and sofa, otherwise the mother dog or puppies could easily become reinfected. As explained in the step above, the environment in which the puppy lives is likely to be rich with flea eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to mature into the next generation of fleas. Therefore, this bedding needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to fully eliminate the fleas.  Flea eggs have an extremely tough protective shell, so putting the bedding through the washing machine will not be enough to eliminate them. Use an anti-flea spray or bombs that contains insecticide. The insecticide will find its way into remote corners of the bedding where flea eggs, larvae and pupae may be hiding. Use the insecticide according to the instructions on the packaging. Once you have applied the insecticide and given it time to take effect, you will need to put it through a very hot cycle in the washing machine to remove any residual insecticide (that could harm the puppies) and wash away dead eggs, larvae and fleas. Finally, you will need to kill any fleas living in carpeting or any other soft furnishings. To do this, you should use a permethrin-based insecticidal spray, such as Staykill or RIP fleas.  The manufacturers of these sprays recommend vacuuming prior to spraying. This loosens up the pile of the carpet and helps the spray to penetrate more deeply. In addition, the vibration from...

TL;DR in English: Understand the life cycle of the flea. Wash the puppy's bedding to kill any fleas. Use spray insecticides to kill fleas in carpeting and other fabrics.

If you cannot get insurance through an employer, then you may want to search for insurance plans on the open market. You can find private insurance plans in the following ways:  By contacting insurance providers directly. In many areas, there are only a few health insurance plans available. Ask nearby hospitals and clinics which types of insurance they accept and contact those companies. Through an insurance agent. Look for insurance agents in your area that represent a number of insurance companies rather than just one. With comparison sites on the Internet. Websites such as eHealthInsurance and NetQuote allow you to comparison shop.  These sites take your information and pull up all of the health insurance plans available in your area. There are several different elements that make up the total cost of health care. When comparing health insurance plans, you should pay attention to each.  Premiums. A premium is simply the monthly payment made to the insurance company to keep the policy active. Coinsurance. Coinsurance is the amount that you pay for any service (in addition to the deductible). A more natural way to think of it is the amount of any medical bill that your insurance company will pay. For example, many plans have 80/20 coinsurance rates. This means that the company will pick up 80% of the costs after your deductible has been met. Deductibles. A deductible is the out-of-pocket charge that you must pay before some other part of the health insurance will kick in. Typically, deductibles must be met before the insurance company pays coinsurance. Deductibles may not apply to all services.  Co-pay. A co-pay is a fixed flat fee that a consumer pays when receiving a medical service. For example, you may have to pay $25 for each doctor’s visit. The amount may vary depending on the service. To find a cost-effective plan, you should consider your health care needs. Families will have different needs compared to single individuals, and healthy young people can anticipate needing a different level of service...

TL;DR in English: Search for insurance. Compare costs. Assess your health care needs. Check if “riders” are available. Apply. Find out if you can join your parents' insurance plan.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that there is an option in your leasing contract to transfer it to another person. This varies from company to company so you need to know where you stand. If you are unsure whether your lease agreement allows assumption of the lease, consult the leasing company or an attorney. Generally, leases are easier to transfer to another person than loans are. If you are only leasing the car, you are not working towards buying it outright, so the contract will be shorter than a full auto loan. After you have checked your loan agreement, you should contact the leasing company directly to discuss your options and the possibilities. Before any lease assumption can be made, you will need to have it signed off by the leasing company, so it's a good idea to talk to them in the early stages. Some leasing companies might work with you to determine whether they consider an assumption as a good and viable option. Some companies may work on a case-by-case basis, so they may be able to help you with the process. If you are struggling to keep up with your lease payments or your circumstances change and you decide to try to pass on the lease, you should take some time to consider your various options and the impact they will have financially and on your credit rating. It can be very expensive to terminate a lease early, and defaulting on the lease will lead to repossession and a significant black mark on your credit record.  One alternative might be just to sell your car outright rather than transferring the lease to someone else. If you are in negative equity, meaning the value of the car is less than the amount outstanding on the lease, selling the car won't cover your debts.  You may be able to work out a deal with your creditors that enables you to turn in the car. So always speak to the leasing company about your options.

Most of the components needed to make the hand sanitizer are common household products, so it’s quite possible that you already have most of them. Start with a bottle of 190-proof grain alcohol, such as Everclear, which is 95% alcohol. Since your hand sanitizer needs to be at least 65% alcohol to be effective, using a high-proof liquor will ensure you get the strength you need. In addition, you'll need plain aloe vera gel, and any essential oils you'd like to use.  Always double-check the alcohol content before you buy a bottle of grain alcohol since many commercial brands are less than 190-proof. Remember you may dilute the strength of the alcohol with other ingredients, so it will not maintain 95% alcohol content. The essential oils you choose are completely up to you. Lavender, lemon, peppermint, geranium, cinnamon, tea tree, and rosemary are common choices. You can use more than one if you like, but the total amount of essential oil you use should not exceed 10 drops. Aloe vera gel also comes in a variety of purity options. You’ll want the purest that you can find – simply check out the label to get the purity information. You’ll need a clean bowl, a spatula (or spoon), a funnel and a recycled liquid soap or hand sanitizer bottle. If you don’t have an empty bottle on hand to upcycle, you can use any kind of container you want, as long as it has a lid. Measure out 2  fl oz (59 ml) of grain alcohol and 1  fl oz (30 ml) of plain aloe vera gel and dump both of them together in the bowl. Add ten drops of your chosen essential oil(s). Use your spatula (or spoon) to stir vigorously until the ingredients are fully mixed together.  You can adjust the amount of the products that you're using if you'd like, but keep the grain alcohol at a 2-to-1 ratio with the gel to ensure it's strong enough. If you’d prefer not to mix by hand in a bowl, you can use your food processor instead. Use the funnel to pour the mixture directly from the bowl into the bottle you’ve chosen to use. Replace the pump, lid, or cap on your...

TL;DR in English: Obtain your ingredients. Gather your tools. Combine the ingredients. Bottle your product.

You should wash the clothing in a washing machine if the stain doesn’t completely lift after you try scraping and blotting it. This is important to do if you don't want the clothing to be permanently damaged.  If the piece can easily be placed in the washing machine and washed, that will provide the easiest and most thorough removal method.  It’s usually a good idea to pretreat the stain with laundry pre-wash stain remover. Run the warm water from the back of the stain through the front. This should help pull the toothpaste out of the woof of the woven fabric.  Gently rub the stain(s) with your finger under the water. Make sure the stains are out before you dry your clothing. Drying sets the stain into fabric more, making it tougher to remove. If the stain is still there, soak the clothing in a bucket of very hot water and some detergent for a few hours. Do not dry in the dryer; rather, air dry until you are certain that no remnants remain. If you detect remnants of toothpaste, repeat the process. Remove the initial toothpaste and, once you are left with the residue that is worked into the fabric of your clothes, use dish soap and really scrub at the stain.  First, scrape off as much of the toothpaste as you can. Let the soap sit for about 10 minutes, and then clean the garment as usual. You only need about a teaspoon of clear dish washing liquid and a cup of water. Mix them together and then use a clean rag to rub the mixture onto the stain.

TL;DR in English: Wash the clothing in the laundry machine with regular detergent. Run warm water over the clothing or soak it in a bucket. Try using dish soap.

Ask your boyfriend directly what he needs instead of making assumptions. Listen and be prepared to offer help with what’s realistic for you. Ways you might help include:  Taking him to doctor’s appointments. Picking up prescriptions. Doing chores, such as laundry or cooking. It can be difficult to talk with a depressed person, especially since they may be irritable or take things out on you. It’s not going to be easy to be around your boyfriend for a while most likely, since he may become moody, negative, and rejecting. However, the depression won’t last forever, so be patient with your boyfriend. To be more patient, try to:  Pause before responding to your boyfriend. Try to put yourself into his shoes and imagine how he might be feeling. Be silent when you need to and just let him talk. Back off or take a time-out when you or your boyfriend are getting overwhelmed. Let your boyfriend talk about his depression and his symptoms with you. Encourage him to talk about his feelings and show him that you don’t judge him for having them. Ask him questions about his depression and if you don’t understand, ask more questions for clarification.  Avoid saying things like, “Just get over it” or “You’ll be fine.”  You can say, “I don’t understand exactly what you’re going through, but I care about you. How can I help you?” Your boyfriend may have difficulty finding the motivation to find a doctor and get into treatment. He may think that the whole process is hopeless and not worth his time.  Try to encourage him as much as possible to seek treatment, as it will likely provide a lot of relief.  You can say, "How about we just go to your primary care doctor? Dr. Smith knows you really well and maybe there's something else going on he can rule out." Scheduling an appointment with a general practitioner first may be less scary than going to a counselor or psychiatrist. You can say, "I'd be happy to help by researching good counselors in the area." Researching a good counselor or psychiatrist may be overwhelming for him, so...

The easiest and simplest way to prevent a sun rash is to expose your skin to the sun slowly. The most common areas are the legs, arms, and chest, so take your time in the spring wearing these uncovered. Try exposing one area at a time instead of them all at once, and limit the amount of time you spend in the sun at first to about 10 minutes. For example, wear a short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and long pants to begin with. You can also try shorts with a long sleeve shirt and a high neck. As long as only one new area is uncovered, you can help prevent sun rash. When you are in the sun, put sunscreen on the areas that are exposed to the sun. Make sure you look for sunscreen that’s over 30 SPF that offers broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays since both can cause sun rash.  Reapply the sunscreen about once every 2 hours.  If you live in an area with high elevation, you’re more likely to get sunburn or sun rash with shorter exposure times. There are certain times of the day that are considered peak hours for sun exposure and strength. If you are prone to sun rash or want to avoid getting one, try to avoid being in the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The sun is strongest during these times and you run a higher risk exposure. If you know you are prone to sun rash, you can protect yourself by wearing clothing or items that cover your skin completely. If you are going outside, even it is not hot, wear a light jacket or long sleeve shirt to cover your arms. Wear high-necked shirts to protect your chest and long pants to protect your legs. Your face is also at risk, so wear a wide-brimmed hat or headscarf to protect your skin.

TL;DR in English: Expose your skin slowly. Apply sunscreen. Go out into the sun at non-peak times. Wear protective gear.

Line chalkers are small devices used to apply chalk to baseball fields.  There are many varieties of line chalkers available, and specific directions for use vary with the product you purchase.  Generally, though, you can just fill the device with marking chalk, then set it to your preferred width and wheel it across the baseball field. Line chalkers can often be set to make either a two-inch (five cm) or four-inch (10 cm) line. The handheld chalker basically consists of a small bucket with a hole in the bottom.  Fill the chalker with powdered chalk and shake it up and down along the line you want to chalk.  As you shake it, chalk will come out the bottom. While line chalkers are guaranteed to give you straight, beautiful lines on your baseball field, they can be expensive.  If you’re trying to chalk a baseball field on a budget, you might resort to a handheld chalker. A box chalker is a U-shaped device that allows you to quickly and easily chalk a batting box.  Specific directions will vary on the product you use.  Generally, however, you can fill the box chalker up with powdered chalk, then “stamp” the ground near home plate where the batter’s box should be.  Since it's shaped like a ‘U’, you’ll need to stamp the ground twice on each side of home plate (once facing toward the field and once facing away from the field) to create a closed box. Use the box chalker on both sides of home plate to ensure both the left and right-handed batter’s boxes are present.

TL;DR in English: Use a line chalker. Use a handheld chalker if you don’t have a line chalker. Use a box chalker to create the batter’s box.

The best thing you can do when returning to exercise after being sick is to talk to your doctor about it. Depending on your illness there are probably specific things to work on and avoid. Know the effects of any medications you’re taking – like if you’re more likely to become dehydrated while exercising. Your doctor may refer you to a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist for professional help getting moving, depending on your needs.  Say something to your doctor like, “Now that I’m feeling better I want to start a fitness regime. Can you help me make a safe plan?” Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following during exercise: chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, irregular heartbeat, numbness in your arms, lightheadedness, faintness, you pass out, or start to sweat profusely (more than would be expected for your activity level). No matter how fit you were before your illness, being sick for a while takes a toll on your body. Your muscles are weaker than before and your stamina and endurance will be lower. This is normal! Acknowledge that you’re basically starting over, like it’s your first time exercising. Prepare yourself mentally to start slow, increase your activity gradually, and be patient. Remember that you can and will get fit, it just takes time.  If you start lifting heavy weights right away, there’s a chance that your weakened muscles will get a tear, sprain, or strain.  You have to rebuild your cardiovascular fitness, i.e. endurance. It’s likely your heart rate will elevate more easily now that you’ve been inactive for a while. Your immune system has been fighting hard to overcome your illness, so if you overwork your body you’ll probably feel unwell the next day. Take it easy to avoid getting symptoms again. What do you want to be able to do again – run a marathon, go back to aerobics class, play a sport? If you make goals and write them down, you're more likely to achieve them.

TL;DR in English: Learn about body language. Understand the six facial expressions. Know

Ninety percent of human communication is non-verbal. A person's body language can be voluntary or involuntary, and it is both genetic and learned. It is a strong indicator of how a person feels, but it can vary from one culture to the next. Those discussed in this article are indicators of body language in Western cultures. Psychologists have classified six involuntary facial expressions that they consider to be nearly universal across cultures. They are happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust and anger. Each has its own signals or clues, and can reveal a person's feelings. But remember they are often fleeting, and some people mask them well.   Happiness is exhibited by a raising or lowering of the corners of the mouth. Sadness is shown by a lowering of the corners of the mouth and by the raising of the inner portions of one's eyebrows. Surprise can be seen when eyebrows arch, eyes open wide to expose more white area, and when the jaw drops slightly. Fear is revealed through the raising of eyebrows, when eyes open after being shut or narrowed, and when the mouth opens slightly. Disgust is displayed when the upper lip raises, the bridge of the nose wrinkles, and cheeks raise. Anger exhibits itself when eyebrows lower, lips press together firmly, and eyes bulge. Many believe that eyes are the windows to the soul. This belief drove many psychological and cognitive researchers to investigate if  our involuntary eye movements held meaning. Research has shown our eyes make predictable movements when a person is processing a thought or question. The notion that you can tell if someone is lying based upon the direction of his or her eye movement, however, is  a myth. Here's what we do know.  Eye movements in any direction increase when a person is recalling information. Our eye movements stop when something interests us. We also avert our gaze when thinking through something, such as the answer to a question. And our eyes stop moving when we're trying to shut out distractions and focus. Eyes move from left to...

If a fire is small enough, put it out using water or a fire extinguisher if you have one available. If you encounter a large fire, contact the fire department or nearby emergency officials immediately. Prevent a fire from starting by unplugging broken lights and appliances. Don’t light any matches or open flames until you’re certain your home is safe. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas valve. The smell could indicate a gas leak, which could cause an explosion or a fire. If there’s damage, immediately turn off the main breaker switch. Keep the power shut off until the electrical wiring is fixed and your home is deemed safe. They’re at high risk of collapsing after an earthquake. Never use your fireplace after an earthquake until it’s been inspected by a professional, and keep out of rooms with brick walls. Find an open outdoor space to go to or make plans to meet up with others. Take an emergency kit with you and leave a note in clear view detailing where you are.

TL;DR in English: Extinguish any fires inside or outside your home. Smell for gas. Inspect the electrical wiring in your home for any damage. Avoid chimneys and walls made of brick. Leave if your home is unsafe.

The most straight-forward way to avoid charges on the balance of your credit card is to pay it off in full at the end of each billing cycle. Paying off the whole balance by the due date on your bill will mean that you do not incur any additional finance charges on the balance. Paying the balance of on time will also help your credit rating improve over time. Once you receive your bill, you will often have a grace period in which you can pay it off without incurring charges. These vary depending on what credit card deal you have, so you will have to check the details of your specific account. The typical grace period tends to be around 25 days. If your card does have a grace period, your card provider must give you at least 21 days after your bill is mailed for you to pay it off. If you are unable to pay off the balance within your grace period, there is an alternative way to clear the balance. You may be able to transfer the balance to another credit card, with a lower APR. For example, some cards will give you 0% APR for a limited time. In this specified period you will not have to pay any finance charges, so you will be able to pay the balance off more cheaply.  If you are considering this, it is important that you are careful and conscientious with your finances. After the 0% APR period expires you may have to pay a higher rate of interest, so you should be completely sure of the terms and conditions. If you transfer the balance from one card to another, remember that you have not paid off the debt. Don’t do this just to free up the card to take on more debt.

TL;DR in English: Pay off your balance at the end of every billing cycle. Determine if you have a grace period. Consider transferring the balance to another card.

No matter what your shape or body type is like, well-fitting clothes will always make you seem put-together and stylish. Don’t wear clothing that is too big or too small.  Watch out especially around the rear, waist, and bust. Too large of a size will cover your figure and too small of a size will distort these areas. If you’re buying clothing online, take your measurements and compare them to the size chart on the website. Staying up to date will give you fashion inspiration. Fashion magazines will show you the latest styles and where you can buy them. Most style websites and blogs will even contain links to sites where you can buy the clothing online. Jeans and a t-shirt is a great outfit for doing groceries, but it may not be the right choice for work or a party. Feminine styles tend to emphasize wearing the right clothing to the right event.  If you’re going to a wedding, look to see if it is formal or semi-formal. A sheath dress or pantsuit with heels may be good for semi-formal occasions while a cocktail dress is appropriate for a formal event. In a business context, try wearing a loose blouse with slacks. For casual wear, look for practical and comfortable clothing that is also stylish. Graphic shirts, printed shorts, or jean skirts are all good options.

TL;DR in English: Choose clothes that fit you well. Read magazines to find the latest trends. Dress appropriately for the occasion.

Have a firm grasp of who they are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. before sharing them with anyone. Know exactly how you met and what the two of you have done together since then. Rehearse your story until you know it backwards and forwards. Don’t give yourself away by taking the time to think up lies on the spot. Expect people to ask questions about them. Keep your answers grounded in what you know for sure. Invent a backstory for your partner based on places and cultures you’re already familiar with. Either give your imaginary partner an upbringing similar to your own so you can speak about it with authority, or model them on someone you know well enough to "borrow" a plausible background, like a best friend, roommate, or cousin.  For instance, if you’re Irish Catholic and know nothing about Asian cultures, don’t have an imaginary partner who’s Asian, since other people would expect you to have learned at least a little something about your partner’s beliefs and practices. Instead, use someone you know fairly well to fill in all those gaps. Say you have a good friend who's Italian and also Catholic. Since you share the same religious background, make your partner a Catholic Italian, too. Then use what you know about your friend's family life as a template for your imaginary partner's. Bolster stories about your partner with real details. If you tell people about a date or day-trip that you went on with your partner, use places that you’ve actually been to. Misdirect their attention by talking more about the places you’ve gone together, rather than the person who went with you.  For example, if you’re telling a story about a dinner date, shift the focus away from your partner by talking about the food you ate or something funny that really happened at another table. If you claim to have gone together to some event that you actually went to by yourself (like a movie, show, or concert), talk more about the event itself. Let your partner "borrow" your own honest reactions. For instance, if you've telling...

Place the saddlebag on the bike rear rack.

Measure the size of your bag. Obtain two L-brackets  Tuck the board inside the bag. Find something sharp (like a scissor or ice pick) and poke the corners. Obtain two set of U-bolts. Remove the board from the bag. Drill the holes for mounting. Insert the wooden board once more. Prepare the rear rack. Insert the U-bolt to the bag, passing through wooden board. Secure the saddlebag to the rack by tightening the nut of the U-bolt. Add a foam board to the bag for insulation, to dampen the cargo and hide the wood frame. Tuck the bag's straps in and you're ready to go. Now you're done! Looks cool on your bike!

Comfort items like teddy bears aren’t just for little kids—some adults rely on them too! Whether it’s a favorite stuffed animal in bed or your favorite posters or drawings on the wall nearby, choose a few key items that will help ease your mind as you drift to sleep.  A hanging mobile with butterflies, action figures, or whatever you like might also help. Once again, these aren’t just for babies! Try not to overload with comfort items, though. If your bed is packed with stuffed animals, it might become a less comfortable sleeping space. A dark room is best for sleeping, but a little bit of light is OK if it helps to calm you. Place the night light in a spot where it won’t shine in your face and won’t create any potentially scary shadows on the wall or ceiling. If you have a major fear of the dark, it may help to keep a small flashlight (that isn’t too bright) nearby. That way you can quickly check your surroundings if needed. If creaky floors, street traffic, thunderstorms, or chirping crickets keep you awake, a white noise machine might help quite a bit. You can try using calming ocean waves, raindrops, or other soothing sounds to drown out the noises that prevent you from dozing off.  White noise machines provide a continuous background sound that can block out other noises without being distracting themselves. Alternatively, you could try using the continuous hum of a fan, a room humidifier, or an air purifier. It’s best to avoid any screen time for an hour or more before bedtime, but especially avoid scary shows, videos, or games. This kind of content may make you have more frequent and more frightening nightmares. The same goes for books—skip the ghost stories and curl up with reading material that is familiar and calming. If you wake up from a nightmare and can remember at least some of the details, tell a parent or other trusted adult about it—either the next morning, or, if necessary, during the night. Talking about what you’ve dreamed can help you to realize that it wasn’t real and isn’t something to...

TL;DR in English: Place comforting items within view of your sleep space. Use a dim night light if you’re scared of the dark. Try a white noise machine if random sounds bother you. Skip scary shows and stories if nightmares are a problem. Talk to a grown-up and draw pictures if you have nightmares. Discuss worries that keep you awake with a trusted adult.

Remove and discard of the stems. Peppers can also be pickled whole, but you will need to puncture a small hole in each pepper to prevent bursting. Bring mixture to a boil, add the peppers, and then remove from heat. Pack the peppers and pickling brine in one 16-ounce jar or two 8-ounce jars. Make sure that the brine is evenly distributed between the two jars. Refrigerate for 3-5 days before serving.

Make sure to measure the length and width of the bag, as well as the base of the bag.  Transfer these measurements to a 1/4-inch plywood.     Cut the wood to the size of your bag.     You should now have two wood panels, one for the back of the bag and the other for the bottom of the bag.    Attach the back and bottom of the saddlebag using the L-brackets.     Add wood glue for more strength and allow to dry. You now have a board for your saddlebag.     The holes should be at least 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) away from the corners.  Get a large screwdriver to make the holes bigger.     These 4 holes will be use to join the wooden board to your bag.    They should be about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) in size, depending on the size of the frame of your bike. For a test fit, mount the U-bolts on the bike rear rack.   Get the measurements of the U-bolt from the rack and apply this to the saddlebag. Poke the holes for the U-bolts.     Using the markings the board got from the sharp object you used to poke the bag as a guide.  You should have 4 holes for you to attach the board to the saddlebag.     Drill another set of holes for the U-bolts so you can mount the saddlebag to the bike rear rack.    Screw 4 ordinary ¼-20 nuts on to the holes you made accordingly. Screw the nuts on the 4 corners of the bag, securing together the bag and wooden board.    Get your U-bolt and place them on the rack.  It is better you place the saddlebag on you left side of the bike so it won't interfere with any moving part of the bike, like the sprocket. Insert the U-bolt from the bike rack to the fabric of the bag.       Cleaning is easy- simply loosen the nuts of the U-bolts. You can even detach the bag and carry it when off your bike.    This saddlebag can carry approximately 4 kilos of cargo. Enjoy your own DIY bicycle pannier.
